Once upon a time, Sun and Moon were fighting to prove who was stronger and more important entity in the universe.
Sun said "Obviously I am the strongest and the brightest. My rays help people on earth and provide enough energy for the stars to shine bright in night.You don't posses such power."
The moon replied "Oh sure, you are powerful, but in this universe, brute force always has lesser value than softer emotions like beauty and calmness. My beauty is incomparable. I have been the subject of poets throughout the world across all ages. My rays are not harsh as yours and I give comfort to the tired people in the night. Also I am like a beauty spot on this dark sky."
Their quarrel went on for a long time. It disturbed other heavenly bodies around them.
Finally, the North star who was the bravest and the brightest amongst all other stars, gathered courage and interrupted with a loud yell, "Stop!! You are disturbing all of us". Upon hearing such a statement both Sun and Moon stopped fighting and stared at the North star. The north star said "Look, both of you are equally important in this universe. Sun, you are an essential source of energy for all , and Moon you are our soothing source. Think of all the living things that are there on planet Earth. If both of you keep on fighting, the life on earth will get very disturbed, so please maintain your peace and work together as a team".
Upon hearing this both understood each other's importance and learnt the lesson of not being egoistic and helping those who are dependent on them.
